GATEsvILLE, Tex, Jan. 20.-D. Larkin,
Sam and Joe Hilton, charged with steal
ing oats, were arrested by our sheriff and
deputies day or so ago. They had in
their possession four horses, Winches-
ter, three siX-shooters and lot of dyna-
mite cartridges. They claim to have pur-
chased the oats and horses in San Saba
county. Our officials will hold the men
until further developments.

ments during the period named is the
best guarantee of that boom which is COM
ing on to surprise its own people with
force unequaled by any progress made
by any city in the state. If Fort Worth
has done so much despite disasters, what
will it not do when its own magnificent
pluck is supplemented by revival of the
cattle interests and by bountiful western
harvests, and heavy immigration into
that section which contains the public
lands and which is tributary to this city?
And what has Fort Worth done in this
time, so laden with misfortunes beyond
its control?
In 1886, Fort Worth put more money
into business structures than did Dallas,
whose paper would now disturb our Sc
rene self satisfaction;
In 1886, the merchants of Fort Worth
sold more goods than they did
in 1885, and there was not failure of
sufficient prominence to be now recalled;
In 1856 there was more money in Fort
Worth banks than in 1885, and more to-
day than there was year ago;
Since the beginning of the untoward
events enumerated, Fort Worth has given
nearly 100000 to new railroads;
Within the past year Fort Worth has
gained railroad connection with the
southeast by the Fort Worth and New
Orleans and Houston and Texas Central
roads;
1t has gained direct connection with
Gainesville by the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fee;
1t is putting steel rails on the Fort
Worth and Rio Grande to the southwest;
1t is pushing, over the the Fort Worth
and Denver, as rapidly as man and
money can accomplish the work into
the Panhandle, section that is richer in
possibilities than any other in the state,
and one bound to Fort Worth by recipro-
cal interests;
1t is locating line into the northwest,
and by May will have direct rail connec-
ton with Kansas City;
There never was made by any city such
progress IN the face of such adverse COZ
ditions, and the serenity of this place
cannot be disturbed. These conditions
must change, and when they do, and
come to supplement the splendid pluck
of Fort Worth the Times will see boom
that will appall it into silence and res
pect and yearning desire to own Fort
Worth real estate.

About 1t.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Jan. lS.-The following
extracts from interviews with the Texas
delegation in congress on the subject Of
reducing the internal revenue taxes will
be Of interest to our readers:
az don't believe in telling you folks
what we are going to do" was the re-
mark made by Mr.. Mills, when the ques-
tions were put to him, but he relented
sufficiently to give forth the following:
"Any bill that has in view the reduction
of the tobacco tax would have to be leav-
ened with reductions on great many
other articles before it would have my
support. l think sugar duty should be
reduced to a reasonable figure. At pres
ent it is too high"
Mr.. Jones-"It is sufficient to say that
l am Democrat OF course the neces-
saries of life must be relieved first and
uxuries, such as tobacco and whisky,
afterward. 1 would not vote for free
sugar; the duty might be reduced some"
Mr.. Culberson favors "takiug the duty
off wool-in fact, make all raw material
free. There should be a considerable re-
duction on manufactured iron and on
wooden goods. 1t would take the tax off
fruit, brandy and tobacco and reduce the
duty on sugar to strictly revenue basis.
Lumber and salt should be on the free
list"
Mr.. Throckmorton is "oTposad to a
removal of the Internal revenue taxes
until the public debt is paid. l think a
gradual reduction should take place
Sugar should go on thefree list"
Mr.. Miller-"I am opposed to any
change in the internal revenue laws until
something is done to relieve the neces-
saries of life. Sugar should not go on
the free list; if it were to be placed there
then we would have to increase the duties
on other articles to fill up the hole that
would be made by taking away one-fourth
of our present revenue from import du-
ties"
Mr.. Crain-"I am opposed 10 the re-
moval of the tobacco tax, and heartily in
favor of continuing the present duty on
sugar"
Mr.. Stuart-"I do not propose to assist
in removing any of the tax on tobacco,
whisky, ETC., until there is general re-
formation of impost duties"
Mr.. Sayres-"I am opposed to the re
noval of the taxes on tobacco, cigars,
wines, whisky or fruit brandy, for the
reason that | believe it would interfere
with and defeat the reduction of taxes
on actual necessaries. l am in favor of
consideration of reduction of the duty
on sugar, if brought up il connection
with remedial legislation for the other
necessaries of lifen

Is tho Actual Settler to be Kept OFF of the
School Lands?
BALLINGER, TEX, Jan. 20, 1887.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
We would like to state fact which has
often occurred in Western Texas tor sew
eral years past. Cattle corporations and
cattle companies have, through their
members individually. leased one or more
watered sections Of state school lands,
being jointly used for the corporation or
firm in one large pasture, and have re-
Gently sued and sequestrated some of the
lands and dispossessed poor farmers and
actual settlers off said lands, who in
good faith have settled on said lands
with intention of buying them, and have
rendered the amount OF money required
by law for the purchase of said lands.
VIII the present legislature give them re-
lief or will they encourage corporations
in barring of, the settlement of large
bodies of rich land belonging to the state
school and asylum funds from being
bought and settled on by her citizens
who only want the opportunity to do so?
Let the present legislature answer.

THE FORT IS SERENE.

The efforts of the Dallas Times to dis
turb the serenity of Fort Worth are
amusing. Would the Times know why
its kindly endeavors are of no avail?
There are potent reasonsfor Fort Worth's
serenity of mind, and THE GAZETTE has
no objection to stating them, for the
record of the achievements of the city for
the past year is brilliant one-and all
the more brilliant when it is considered
in the light of the adverse conditions
which surrounded its work.
In 1884 the failure of the Investment
Company, following close on the
heels of the financial furry in
New York, cost the people of this
city hundreds of thousands of dollars,
and that loss fell on the men who have
been ever foremost in all good works.
Then came the failure of the refrigerator
works, into which the people had put
their money. Then came the strike of
1855, and Fort Worth being a great rail-
road center, always feels most keenly
such disturbances. Then came local finan-
cial shocks mot failures) accompanied by
by great depression in the cattle inter-
ests and the ever-to-be-remembered small
pox quarantine of Dallas against its
"sister city," These misfortunes were
followed by the strike of 1886, which re-
suited in great hurt to this city, the rail-
road center of North Texas, and by q
bitter partisan contest in which unscrupu-
lous men arrayed town ard country in
hostility, and by crop failure in the
west, which section is more intimately
connected in trade relations with Fort
Worth than with all the other cities of
Texas combined. Only the wonderful
vitality and marvellous pluck of Fort
Worth could have stood up against such
combination of misfortunes, beginning
with the Investment Company failure of
1884, and extending through 1885 into
1886, and including, in addition to strikes
and guarantees, dire disaster to both the
live stock and farming interests of the
west, which is, in trade, bound in closest
unity with this city.
For none of these misfortunes was Fort
Worth responsible, and despite them
all, what has the city done in the time
mentioned? The record of its achieve

"GLITTERING generalties" are not a
satisfying way by which to account for
money expended, especially when that
money has been obtained from the small
earnings of those who need all they make.
The t1sde organizations have found this q
burdensome tax, and this has decided the
brickIayers of Boston to withdraw from
the Knights of Labor. Is was, they said,
pay out money all the time with no means
of knowing how it was disbursed. Ac-
cording to the estimates of this union, the
connection with that order cost them
Sl1o0 up to November, 1856, every one
presenting himself as Knight, whether
from Wisconsin or Texas, whether work
man or not being entitled to help. The
resources of workingmen are far from
unlimited, ana there is just reason in
their stopping to count the cost of main
tanning so expensive machine as the
Knights of Labor, and of satisfying them
selves whether the benefits accruing from
membership are commensurate with the
entailed expense.

RELIEVE THE WEST.

The following letter was private to
THE GAZETTE, but is printed that the
facts may be known to the members CT
the legislature. And while on this sub
iect THE GAZETTE would ask why any
land law should be framed that did not
look to an encouragement of the actual
settler in all respects? All parties to
the controversy over the land question
affect to favor the settler, and all men
know that only the poor seek homes on
the frontier, away from comforts and
laws with the extreme of liberality to
the man who goes to privation
and discomfort in the effort to
make a home, and aid in the develop
ment OF Texas? 1t would be money in
the pockets of the state if there was a
home on every section of land, and why
should there be forfeiture in three years?
Or in ninety days? Let the men who are
legislating to settle the waste places of
Texas consider of this thing.
GoLDTHwAITE, TEX, Jan. 10, 1887.
To the Editor of the Gazette.
DEAR SIR have Just finished trip through
Coleman, Runeils and this county, and thought
as land matters claimed my special attention.
l would give the editor of my favorite paper
the benefit of one thing learned on my trip,
and that is this, Quite a number Of poor men
have purchased state school lands under reso-
luton No. 10, state land board, which requires
the purchaser to become an actual settler within
ninety days from date of application, or forfeit
the land without judicial proceedings. This Is
well, but quite number of men in the drouth-
stricken district were prevented in consequence
OF the drouth from improving their lands in
said ninety days, and therefore they must
either lose their first payment and retle, or let
some more fortunate neighbor come in and get
the land. Again, the same resolution says that
any abandonment within three years, or in
other words, compells them to remain three
consecutive years on the land or forfeit the
same.
Now, at least 80 per cent. Of the purchasers in
the drouth district will lose their land I'M
der this resolution unless the legislature passes
an act for their relief. This is not for publica-
ton, being simply intended as means of
awakening inquiry.

THERE is a smack of Cromwellian
days in Bismarck's mode of dealing with
the reichstag. Why Kaiser William
should be sad, so long as he had so COM
PLEASANT a minister to do his will, is
as much of a riddle as Jacob weeping
over kissing pretty girl. Prince Bis
marck forewarned this body if they did
not pass the army bill as he desired it, he
would bring down condign punishment
upon it in the wsy of dissolution. They
proved refractory, and the threat was
carried out. The sadness of the German
emperor can only be accounted for in the
proneness of old age to be melancholy,
deepened, perhaps, by the thought that
he could not enjoy absolutism many
more years.

THERE is snug little sum accumulat-
ing for the successor of Leo NH, pro-
vided that person is willing to become a
pensioner of the Italian government, and
renounce the claims of temporal soyer-
eighty SO persistently held by his prede-
cessor This annuity now amounts to
S1O,OO0,O 900, and would prove snug sum
to set up housekeeping. In the meantime
Italy swarms with lazz2roni who impor-
tunately besiege every passer by for aims.
To Protestant, it seems the wiser policy
in the general government to employ this
sum in the amelioration of the condition
OF the peasantry of the country than
year by year to tender money to one who
does not need it, and despises the hand
which offers it. The revenues proper of
the church and votive offerings ought to
be sufficient for the occupant of the vati-
can, who claims to be the representative
of Him who declared that foxes and birds
possessed more than He.
